.@TwitterSupport has now evolved to PURE KAFKA.They probably haven't read it, but in one of the great writers of our age's novel, The Trial, by Franz Kafka,an innocent man is given warnings by the state but NO info abt his alleged crime&no means of appeal.Right out of the book.

Shocking provacative @TheTLS review of JONATHAN ROSEN's new book "THe Best Minds". @EShowalter's review matches what she sees in Rosen's intensity

"This is the saddest story ever told." So begins the complex early modernist (1915) novel "The Good Soldier" by Ford Madox Ford. I couldn't help thinking of that line while reading the @nytimes takeout on the sad fate of once heroic reporter LARA LOGAN: https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/22/business/media/lara-logan-cbs-news.html?action=click&algo=bandit-all-surfaces-shadow-lda-unique-time-cutoff-30-alpha-0.03&alpha=0.03&block=editors_picks_recirc&fellback=false&imp_id=553958253&impression_id=3d4728c3-dc54-11ec-b677-7dd7dedc1844&index=2&pgtype=Article&pool=pool%2Fe76d7165-92f7-4bd2-bc6e-298322d3680a&region=footer&req_id=702142596&shadow_vec_sim=0.2991560212701498&surface=eos-home-featured&variant=0_bandit-eng30s-shadow-lda-unique-alpha-0.03

@nexta_tv According to a Jack Reacher novel dollar bills can be transformed to 50s and 100s with a complicated but successful counterfitting process. Maybe Lee Child can tell us how real that was but certainly the banning of dollar bills is curious.

From the @Observer archives: My tribute to Dylan, the Beat Village cast of characters that populate his songs and his beautiful memoir, "Chronicles" https://observer.com/2004/10/dylan-brings-it-home-memoir-is-a-ballad-to-the-beat-village/

This seems to be photoshopped for no apparent reason from a scene in Claude Lanzmann's "Shoah", a documentary which re enacted the approach of a train to Auschwitz not Treblinka. The Holocaust need not be photoshopped; it was real enough except to the vile deniers. https://t.co/bGH2wogRij

@KerriArsenault The Anatomy of Melancholy (17th c.)in which the attempt to examine all previous literature for cause and cures for melancholy drives the narrator Robert Burton unwittingly daft.

Out of stock
